Lots of businesses talk the talk. Mary and I walk the walk.

If you are a veteran (or active duty), your stay at Amelia's Landing Hotel tonight, 11/11/16, is FREE.

Not "discounted". Not "BOGO". Free, on the house. It's just our way of saying "thanks" to those who have kept us free.

C'mon down to the island, mon! You earned it.

It was a stunningly beautiful day here on the island. We are "sold out", chock full of veterans from every war back to the Korean War.

No WWII guys this year... I'm afraid they are almost all gone.

But Mary and I toast them. They have kept us free, and have allowed yet another peaceful presidential election!

Or too old and frail to travel.

I met a Navajo man recently that was in the Philippines. He was forced into the death march, survived that and was then sent to Japan and into forced slave labor. He is very ill, and I am afraid he will soon be gone. He would not talk, but his great grandson told me what he had been through.

As so many native veterans his age, the only time he had been out of the reservation area was when in the military.
 
What a kind gesture. This looks like a cool place. Wish it were closer
 
Just FYI for next year, here are the local businesses that stepped up for our veterans today:

- Dairy Queen...free blizzards

- Port A Pizza...free food

- Amelia's Landing...free night's stay

- Moby Dick's...half off dinner

- VFW...free lunch

- Beach & Station...free dinner

- Behringers Landing...dinner half price

- The Brewery...dinner half price

- Fins...dinner half price.

- MacDaddy's....dinner half price

- Virginia's Restaurant ...free dinner

There are only 3500 of us on this little island, but we've all got a soft spot for our veterans. I spent the evening drinking gin & tonics on the veranda with a few of them, and it was a just a great night.
 
That's nice of you and your fellow business owners to do all that Jay! Some day I hope to visit myself. As a Vet it is nice to know people care. I took advantage of a free haircut from Greta Clips and free meal at White Castle (Krystal in the south).
